UNSPSC 50305340: O'henry peaches

The variety of peaches known as o'henry peaches

UNSPSC 50305340 O'henry peaches, a Commodity code, represents fresh fruit procurement by state and local food-service operations—child care centers, school districts, senior services providers, and correctional facilities. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing peaches and other fresh stone fruits as components of broader fresh-produce buys for meal programs subject to USDA nutrition standards, CACFP compliance, and food-safety protocols including HACCP plans and traceability documentation. The issuing-body mix spans independent school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District in Wisconsin, McAllen ISD and Austin ISD in Texas, Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida), county school systems (Muscogee, Bulloch, Glynn, Dougherty, and Bryan Counties in Georgia; DeSoto County in Mississippi; Hancock County in Georgia; Liberty County in Georgia), municipal education departments (Meriden Public Schools in Connecticut; City of Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), child-care networks (Head Start of Greater Dallas; Boys & Girls Club operations in Texas), municipal senior services (City of San Antonio), and cooperative purchasing consortia (GEC Buying Cooperative spanning 30 Georgia school districts). No single buyer appears across multiple posted opportunities, but school nutrition programs represent the dominant purchasing category.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Florida, and Connecticut, with secondary activity in Wisconsin, Mississippi, Oregon, and California. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Edinburg, Texas CACFP RFP (RFP2026017, due August 4, 2026) for food and nonfood items including fruits and vegetables to serve 400 children daily under a local-vendor preference; Madison Metropolitan School District's petite banana bid (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026) for weekly produce delivery to a central food-production facility; Hillsborough County Public Schools FFVP proposal (26RFP034, due March 11, 2026) for specialty fresh fruits to 18 elementary schools under a cost-plus fixed-fee model with $600,000 estimated annual budget; and the GEC Buying Cooperative RFP (SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026) spanning 30 Georgia school districts with estimated combined annual spending of approximately $5.5 million across two geographic areas. Peaches do not appear explicitly in the line-item lists of reviewed opportunities; they surface as component items within broader "fresh fruit," "fresh produce," or seasonal-produce categories. School districts typically solicit peaches on fixed-price or cost-plus-fee contracts running July through June, with weekly or bi-weekly deliveries to multiple school sites, HACCP compliance, and firm pricing for the initial 60–90 day period post-award.
